I've been riding around with the top down
Like I always do, my love at my side,
But only this time my friends say something's changed
They said you're running with the wrong set
The girl is someone you should never have met
Let her go on her own, son

Everyone else has just come undone
The old town fathers are up in arms
The city council is very alarmed
Cousins and uncles are having fits
Predictors of doom think this is it
Everybody else is just hanging around

And me and my baby we're the talk of the town
The statue there in the town square
Seems to stare at me walking around with my head down
They say can't we make you see
Said son, you know we're really color blind
But everybody else seems to really mind

Lose her now, I think you'll find
Everything else will just fall in line
The old town fathers are up in arms
The city council is very alarmed
Cousins and uncles are having fits
Predictors of doom think this is it
Everyone else is just thinking out loud

And me and my baby we're the talk of the town
We're probably not the first, surely not the last
Shouldn't throw stones out from your house of glass
Round here lots of crackers and cheese
Stay away from those my daddy said to me
You'll get in trouble if you mess with these

The old town fathers are up in arms
The city council is very alarmed
Cousins and uncles are having fits
Predictors of doom think this is it
Everybody else is just hanging around
And me and my baby we're the talk of the town
